Budget? I do not know that word
 
maybe I will "Google" it and get the definition. I thought I was going to have $20,000 in this build when I started 4.5 years ago. Ain't that a hoot!

Well,

Thats a refreshing thread.... One i can COMPLETELY relate too!

I sold the coupe for the "complete and running" convertible because i figured i would never have time to finish it....Now, the 'vert is on jackstand in the shop awaiting a hand brake cable replacement and a wiper linkage fix so i can go pass 'out of state' inspection to finally plate it and go for a ride before snow comes in....

I WILL SUCCEED!!! (well i sure hope i will...)

I just need to be remembered once in a while that this is a hobby, thats all...(yeah right!)

:willy: :willy: :willy:

Lead.

Budget its what you tell your wife it will cost to get her blessing. Thats before all the "unexpected" expences start poping up and as you try to explain in detail why it needs to be done she throws up her hands and says what ever you say. I just still better be able to get the new (fill in the blank) I wanted before you started this thing. :cool:

Don't worry Payton, you will be done soon. Just be determined and you will finish. :thumbsup:

Well....
 
I headed her off at the pass. 2 weeks before my car came home I bought her an M3 Convertible. When it came home she wanted to say "what in the hell, I thought you were just painting it?" but instead she said "looks like you worked hard...and changed some things too." I can tell she is dying to rip me a new one. LOL

"the new BLANK" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

i dont have a wife or kids, i just have A.D.D. when it comes to my own cars, i find it easier to start a new project rather than continue to be motivated on the "old" ones

M3 vert...Damn!! Hey your car is awesome-some sticktoitiveness-you'll get there man.

I wish time was the problem I had... the earning and spending potential of a college studen in SoCal is not very conducive to building a car!

looking good though payton, you are at the spot most of us can only see on the edge of the horizon.
